Somewhat off topic, but your reading material in your formative years 
Cindy, is sadly lacking in familiarity with the output of one of the 
last century's most prolific  Sci Fi authors named Robert A. Heinlein. 
Specifically his treatise on living on or "in" the moon.  Go to your 
public library and check out "The moon is a harsh mistress" and remedy 
that lack. ;-)  I think you'll go back and get some more of his output.

I had forgotten there was still diakup country Cindy, my sympathies. But 
with Pi at the FCC, its not going to be fixed on his watch, he is in big 
telecom's pocket. "A Republic, Mam, if we can keep it", but we've not 
been doing that good a job.
